Quantum computers are to this age what rocket ships and moon colonies were to the space age.

Even if we manage to figure out how to do cool shit with them, they'll fall short of today's hopes and dreams for generations. Right now, everybody's dreaming about having a super-fast quantum processor in their cell phone. In seventy years we'll probably have a handful of practical quantum based mainframes in the entire country, and we'll be continually bickering over justifying the running costs.
